Narration To Books The Black Sheep
Fed up with her parents and all their ridiculous rules (they keep a binder full of them), fifteen-year-old Kendra Bishop writes away to The Black Sheep, a reality TV show that offers the chance to swap families with another teen. But when the camera crew shows up at her Manhattan apartment, Kendra starts to have second thoughts. Too late. Kendra's whisked away to Monterey, California, to live with the Mulligans. The carefree household that couldn't be more different that her own--complete with hippy parents, their five kids, and a pet ferret. And falling for Mitch, the Mulligan's seventeen-year-old son, only complicates things further, especially since Mitch despises the TV show and everything it stands for. But given the chance, Kendra might just be able to juggle first love, her new stardom, and a pushy TV producer who will stop at nothing for higher ratings.
In this hilarious and touching YA novel, Kendra learns to live under a new roof, but finds true refuge in the unlikeliest of places-her own family.

I was immediately interested in The Black Sheep because it sounded like a funny version of Wife Swap for teenagers. Reality TV is becoming huge all over the globe and whilst I've scorned these programmes for years, I can no longer deny the fact that they are incredibly entertaining. What I loved about The Black Sheep was the fact that the protagonist, Kendra Bishop, was unwittingly thrust into the world of reality TV and wasn't an annoying, fame hungry teenager.

The Black Sheep by Yvonne Collins is a book great for young adults. I found it enjoyable and in some aspects relatable. I feel I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I were still 15 and in high school, I would have been able to relate my thoughts a lot more with Kendra, the main character. 15 year old Kendra Bishop lives in New York city with her up tight and strict parents. Soon she gets fed up with her parents and angry, like most teens do, and writes to this show called "The Black

thank fuck this book was free on KU.The Black Sheep was super boring to read. At first, I was like oh lord.. is this going to get any better? Then the MC, Kendra, was just so annoying and whiny for most of this book. I wanted to pretend I was blind so I didn't have to read it anymore. Or ya know.. just skim through it without looking at the actual words. Besides not like this brat, the romance and the entire reality tv part of this book just made me want to barf. Or roll my eyes until they got
Really?? People have given this book five stars? No offense, but why? That this book was even published is amazing to me, let alone published by mega-giant, Hyperion. They should be ashamed of themselves. Truly. This is the second Hyperion book I've read this month that isn't worth the paper it's printer on (Generation Dead was the first) or the time I put into reading it.First let me say that the characters are one dimensional... that's right, I said one dimensional. They strive to be two
Congratulations book, I NEVER roll my eyes during kissing scenes but you did it, you made me do it. This book is terrible. Good riddance.
